Houston-based Newmark Homes is returning to the Austin market and has tapped veteran home builder Shay Brinkley as president of its Austin division.
“Shay brings an extraordinary amount of experience to Newmark,” Mike Moody, chairman and CEO of Newmark Homes, said in an announcement. “We worked together at Newmark in the 1990s through the mid-2000’s and during that time, I gained a great deal of respect for his ability to build teams. We are very excited to be reuniting with Shay.” Newmark Homes built in the Austin area for more than two decades before ceasing operations in 2009 when the company transitioned from being owned by a public company to a private firm based in Houston. “We have focused our efforts in Houston over the past decade with great success and believe the timing is right for our return to Austin,” Moody said. Newmark will open model homes this month in two communities in the northwest Austin area. Homes designed by Austin-based Kipp Flores Architects in Lakeway’s Rough Hollow community on 55-, 63- and 78-foot wide lots will start in the mid $400,000s. In Austin’s Provence community, also in Lake Travis ISD, Newmark will sell homes on 50- and 65-foot wide lots from the mid $300,000 to the $500,000s. Newmark has a sales goal of 400 homes in the Houston market in 2020. The company said it expected to set sales goal for Austin in the next few months after working through the initial stages of ramping up their programs in the region. Newmark, which currently builds in nine communities in the Houston area, sold 410 homes in 2019, up 6 percent from 2018.
